What does the expression: "Mores the Pity" mean?

Question:

What does the expression: "Mores the Pity" mean?

I have seen this expression often, as in "I don't think John Kerry asks Bob Kerrey for advice - mores the pity." In this context it suggests a meaning of "Unfortunately" but I would like to know for sure.

You are right: it means, sadly or as you say, unfortunately. Mostly I have seen that phrase in old English books.
